Game launches to black screen
« on: April 28, 2012, 09:05:51 PM »
Yup. Game launches to black screen.  I get the menu and such, but the screen is black aside from that.


I've had the game since it became a paid beta (Beause I support Arcen!) and this has only happened since the official release.

I'm running Vista 64 on an I7 with an ATI 5770. latest video drivers.

Can you upload the world here so that we can take a look at it?

Or are you not getting to the part where you can load a world?

Is there any text on the buttons or the central-scrolling-story thing?

When the game first loads up, I get the menu buttons but no graphics on the screen behind it. If I load a world, same thing. It looks like everything is working but It's not drawing the game graphics.

Perhaps I will try a reinstall.

Yeah, that does sound like a broken install.
